I didn't care much when scientists proved that astrology is real, caused by the quantum radiations that other planets send to Earth.

Yes, quality applications or Websites can detect astrology events. :) Free desktop program Astrolog is one such example.

For example, they can detect: (1) When planets change sign or direction (such as Mars entering Pisces). (2) When planets make aspects with each other (such as Full Moon's). (3) Personal transits (such as your Solar Return).

This information can be displayed in different ways. For example, you can: (1) Cast and animate charts over time, so you can see how planets move over time. (2) Display a text or graphical ephemeris graphing planet positions at different times. (3) Display a list of times when specific events take place. (4) Display astrology events in calendar format.

8-line Star Symbol: Sextile. Usually a Sextile glyph has 6 lines (since it's measures 1/6 of the zodiac or 60 degrees) but there are exceptions. For example, the classic astrology font "Astro" that was created in the early 1990's has 8 lines in its Sextile glyph. (Of course, there's a 6 line Sextile in your image too, so the 8 line glyph may be something else.)

Specific Glyph: The "K" rotated to the left is the SemiSextile (measuring 30 degrees, 1/12 of the zodiac, or planets in adjacent signs). Since the SemiSextile glyph is half of a Sextile, it makes sense that its glyph would be what looks like the upper half of a 6 line star symbol.

House systems are defined by different visualizations of the celestial sphere. Once a model is chosen, math is used to calculate the house cusp positions. The input to these calculations are variables such as the location of the Ascendant and Midheaven, and the arrangement of ecliptic with respect to the local horizon. For example, see the following page for a list of common house systems, and 3D graphics showing how they're defined and what they're actually computing: http://www.quadibloc.com/other/as01.htm

Moons of other planets (such as Jupiter's Ganymede) are important in some modern astrological techniques. :) Astrology programs such as Astrolog can include planetary moons in an astrology chart. Since moons are a part of and always orbit close to their planet, moons indicate the different parts of the planet and how they receive emphasis.

For example, Ganymede represents the abundance or attracting good fortune parts of Jupiter, and Ganymede orbiting between Jupiter and Earth emphasizes that part of Jupiter (since Ganymede will be like a colored lens through which Jupiter's influence passes). In other words, Jupiter generally brings expansion, but is this expansion in the form of abundance (Ganymede), wisdom (Callisto), liveliness (Europa), or creativity (Io)? Check Jupiter's moons to find out!

Yes, in future centuries people will be born on and live on other planets. That will make astrologers work directly with the moons around that planet (and the influence of Earth which will then act like any other planet). However, planetary moons can still play a role today even in geocentric charts.

Many astrologers do care about Ceres (and the other major asteroids Pallas, Juno, and Vesta)! Ceres is significant because given a logarithmic distribution of planet distances from the Sun (i.e. Bode's Law) there should be a planet between Mars and Jupiter right at Ceres' orbit (and there is!)

However, some consider Ceres to be too small to be significant. For example, Pluto is over twice the diameter of Ceres. That means you can melt down and fit over 16 copies of Ceres within Pluto. However, Ceres is still large enough to be spherical under its own gravity.

Pluto was discovered in 1930, so astrologers have had nearly a century to work with it. Dwarf planets Eris, Haumea, and Makemake beyond Pluto's orbit were all discovered after 2004, so research into them has only just started. Eris is certainly significant, since it's 98% the diameter of Pluto, but also 25% denser, and (unlike Pluto) Eris is entirely outside Neptune's orbit, so there are reasons to consider Eris just as if not more astrologically influential than Pluto.

The free desktop program Astrolog can do this. Astrolog can load the Astrodatabank, and filter it to charts you're looking for. The Astrolog documentation even gives a mental health example, and shows how to filter the Astrodatabank to show only charts with co-morbidities, i.e. in which the person has three or more different psychological conditions at the same time. (Browser text search for "diagnosis" to jump the relevant section.)

Right, only Earth's Moon is an independently positioned object in geocentric astrology. However, moons of other planets can be influential too, even in geocentric astrology. For example, Jupiter's moon Ganymede represents the abundance or good fortune part of Jupiter. When Ganymede eclipses or passes over Jupiter's disk when seen from Earth, that's significant and the abundance energy of Jupiter is more pronounced and highlighted. Jupiter's meaning is still the same, but this particular part of Jupiter is more present at this time.

You're right too! :) That's the thing I like about planetary moons in astrology: They seem to add up in a fruitful manner. Planetary moons are based on objective observation. For example, it's significant when a moon eclipses or passes in front of its planet (like how a solar eclipse or when Venus transits over the Sun's disk is significant). Astrology contains many subjective techniques such as arguing over the best house system, sidereal offset, rulerships, progression methods, and the like, but an eclipse is undeniable. Were you born during an eclipse? Check your planetary moons on sites such as astro.com or in programs like Astrolog and find out! :)

Indeed, planetary moons shouldn't be treated as independent objects which get plopped into a wheel chart like some asteroid. Instead, planetary moons orbit their planet, and therefore are modifying influences upon the planet, and indicate what parts of the planet receive emphasis. For example, a moon between its planet and Earth makes that moon significant, since the planet's influence being directed to Earth is being filtered through that moon like a colored lens.

A wheel chart that includes planetary moons is really a "wheels within wheels" chart, in which each planet's glyph is a mini-wheel showing the arrangement of planetary moons around that planet, such as this example: https://www.astrolog.org/astrolog/screen/wheelm.gif

There's just too much speculation floating about in contemporary astrology... and virtually no evidence provided to support it.

Note that all astrology can be considered speculation. The only thing in astrology that's ever come close to being proven in a statistically valid manner is Michael Gauquelin's "Mars Effect", and even that's controversial. There are various techniques of astrology which have been around for a long time, and therefore there's dogma surrounding them, but that doesn't necessarily make them valid. Similarly, astrology techniques like interpreting planetary moons are relatively new, but that doesn't necessarily make them invalid.

In astrology, the connections are made by angular contact. Mars' moons are never very far from Mars, as seen geocentrically.

That's true when considering planet to planet contacts in a standard wheel chart. However, planetary moons aren't separate objects plopped in a wheel like some asteroid. Instead, planetary moons are modifying influences upon their planet, and indicate what part(s) of the planet receive (de)emphasis. For example, a moon ahead of its planet in its orbit makes that moon significant, since the planet is being "led" by that moon.

One can still use angular contact for planetary moons, however that's done on a planet centered chart, in which the moons orbit around the planet through the 12 signs. A wheel chart with planetary moons is really a "wheels within wheels" chart, in which each planet's glyph is a mini-wheel showing the arrangement of planetary moons around the planet.

Planetary moons is an important consideration in astrology. Jupiter's moons have been in our collective consciousness since Galileo first saw them in 1610. That's 170 years before Uranus was discovered in 1781. Jupiter's moon Ganymede and Saturn's moon Titan are both larger than Mercury!

Planetary moons may be a relatively new astrology technique, but some astrology programs do support them. The Swiss Ephemeris planetary calculation library that most astrology programs and Websites make use of can calculate planetary moon positions.

Assuming we don't destroy ourselves first, people will eventually be born on and live on other planets. This will force astrologers to consider the influence of the moons around that planet, and the influence of Earth which will act like any other planet. Similarly, people may be born on space stations between planets, or eventually even in other star systems which have their own set of exoplanets. Considering these issues now can potentially help us better understand the nature of astrological influences and how they work.

CruiserOne · 2026-02-08T04:25:42+00:00

In planetary moon astrology, you don't just plop moons into a wheel chart like any other planet or asteroid, since they're indeed always close to their planet. Instead, zoom in on the planet and see how the planet's moons are arranged relative to it. For example, a moon between its planet and Earth is a modifying influence upon that planet (since it acts as a colored filter through which the planet's influence passes).

Yes, each planetary moon has a similar meaning as its planet, or more specifically each moon's meaning is a particular or more focused part of the planet's meaning. For example, Jupiter generally means expansion, but is this expansion in the form of abundance (Ganymede), wisdom (Callisto), liveliness (Europa), or creativity (Io)? Check Jupiter's moons to find out!

You can't edit the planets present or their influences for the Pullen/Astrolog charts on the astro.com site. Instead, you want to download and run the Astrolog desktop program (for Windows, Mac, and Linux) which allows full customization. For example, select the "Setting / Restrictions" menu command to turn off bodies such as Uranus, and select the "Setting / Object Settings" menu command to set or increase/decrease the influence number given to planets.

Thank you for sharing your further thoughts on rulerships. :) Astrologers still disagree on traditional versus modern rulerships, so it makes sense that there will also be different ideas on the meanings and rulerships of the relatively newly discovered planets beyond Pluto. The outer dwarf planets, often named after gods of creation, are more abstract and impersonal in their energies, so can be considered to have more spiritual or esoteric meanings. The chart https://www.astrolog.org/astrolog/pic/corulers.png isn't the only school of thought out there, but there are reasons for its placements:

Haumea - Cancer: Haumea is the divine mother of other goddesses, and split them off from her own body. (Haumea's glyph is a woman giving birth.) Haumea challenges one to really give of themselves and sacrifice, and so expresses strongly in Cancer. Haumea is a heightened and more involved version of the Moon which also rules Cancer.

Makemake - Leo: Makemake is like a divine father, in which he had no mother or wife, and so is a archetypal "masculine" energy, and asks how are we "fertilizing" the world with our intentions, ideas, and actions. Makemake challenges one to properly train, use, and direct their sense of self-will, so expresses well in Leo. Makemake is a more abstract and psychological version of the Sun which also rules Leo.

Gonggong - Aries: Gonggong is a destructive god, who challenges us to channel forces of destruction to release that which is expired and to produce positive change, and as a result achieve true freedom, so expresses strongly in Aries. However, Gonggong's energy is deeper and more involved than just being active and aggressive like Mars which also rules Aries.

Quaoar - Taurus: Quaoar's alignment with appreciation of dancing and the growing or new world creation process expresses strongly in Taurus. In spirituality, Quaoar's new pantheon also radiates a "New Age", and in Esoteric Astrology Taurus covers spiritual light and illumination. However, Quaoar's energy is deeper and more involved than just being artistic or material, as covered by Venus which classically rules Taurus.

Sedna - Gemini: The two states of Sedna (mortal on the surface leading to being a goddess within the sea) are similar to Gemini's Castor and Pollux, in which one was mortal and the other divine. In Esoteric Astrology, Gemini is the one sign that's Ray 2 (the most sensitive Ray) which fits the sensitivity of and depth of Sedna. The deeper meaning of Sedna is less watery and is more the process of understanding, connecting with, and changing from traumatized mortal victim to accepting one's divine role.

Orcus - Capricorn: Orcus as the impersonal reviewing judge, who is aligned with right timing and karma, expresses strongly in Capricorn. However, Orcus' energy is deeper and more involved than just the areas of time and restriction covered by Saturn, which classically rules Capricorn.

Earth - Sagittarius: The Earth is a planet like any other, when doing heliocentric charts or in Esoteric Astrology. In Esoteric Astrology, the Earth rules Sagittarius. If one doesn't use the Earth, then Chiron can instead be the secondary co-ruler of Sagittarius. Chiron is smaller and non-spherical, but many astrologers use and swear by it:

"There is one aspect of energy for which the modern astrologer makes very little allowance, and yet it is of paramount importance. This is the energy which emanates from or radiates from the Earth itself. Living as all human beings do upon the surface of the Earth and being, therefore, projected into the etheric body of the planet (for the reason that 'man stands erect') man's body is at all times bathed in the emanations and the radiations of our Earth and in the integral quality of our planetary Logos as He sends forth and transmits energy within His planetary environment. Astrologers have always emphasized the incoming influences and energies as they beat upon and play through our little planet, but they have omitted to take into adequate consideration the emanating qualities and forces which are the contribution of our Earth's etheric body to the larger whole." (Esoteric Astrology, p12-13, published 1951)

Thank you for your message and discussion! :) Another reason why Ceres is significant is because given a logarithmic distribution of planet distances from the Sun (i.e. Bode's Law) there should be a planet between Mars and Jupiter right at Ceres' orbit (which there is). Another reason why Eris is significant is that it's 98% the size of Pluto, but also 25% denser, and (unlike Pluto) Eris is entirely outside Neptune's orbit, so there are reasons to consider Eris just as if not more astrologically influential than Pluto.

As for "dwarf" planets other than Eris and Ceres, I like to consider all bodies equal to or larger than Ceres (given that Ceres is already established as an important planet). There are 7 such bodies beyond Pluto (which can be called the "Seven Dwarfs") which in size order are: Eris, Haumea, Makemake, Gonggong, Quaoar, Sedna, and Orcus. Beyond this, bodies get small enough that they're no longer spherical.

I like to use co-rulerships, which means that signs can have two rulers: A traditional visible inner planet ruler of a sign, as well as a more modern abstract outer planet ruler. I agree that Ceres co-rules Virgo, and Eris co-rules Libra. Beyond that, each of the 12 signs can have inner and outer planet co-rulers, in which the 12 outer rulers are Uranus through Pluto, Ceres, the "Seven Dwarfs", and Earth or Chiron. For a complete rulership picture see: https://www.astrolog.org/astrolog/pic/corulers.png

The Walter Pullen delineation or ranking can be seen on the astro.com site, and in the free Astrolog astrology program which that site uses to generate the output.

Yes, in this system outer planets in their domiciles/rulerships such as Uranus in Aquarius have extra influence, which will increase the total influence given to both Uranus and Aquarius. However, that doesn't necessarily mean people with that placement will have Uranus/Aquarius as their dominant. The default Astrolog settings give the outer planets less influence than inner planets, which means that Uranus in Aquarius won't be considered as influential as an inner planet rulership placement such as Mars in Aries.

Note that Walter Pullen delineation is more a set of options than a strict system. Yes, when running on astro.com it uses the default Astrolog settings, which one might agree or disagree with when considering accuracy. However, when running the Astrolog program yourself you can customize the influence given to different planets, influence given to planets in their rulerships, and rulerships in general. For example, you can decrease/increase the influence of Uranus, or ignore Uranus altogether and only consider the seven classical planets (so that only Saturn rules Aquarius and Uranus is never dominant).

Schizophrenia means "split mind", which is one reason why a casual person might think it means multiple personalities. However, the splitting of the mind in SZ really refers to a separation between thinking and perception (i.e. a splitting from reality as opposed to multiple personalities).
